The DV bootstrap result for Kepler-62c in the Q1–Q17 DR25 transit search is shown in Fig. REF . Kepler-62c is a Mars-sized planet in a five-planet system that includes two potential HZ super-Earths [1]}. Given MES \(= 8.5\sigma \)  for Kepler-62c with trial pulse duration \(= 3.5\)  hr, the probability of false alarm was estimated by asymptotic extrapolation as described earlier to be 6.27x\(10^{-17}\)  (marked on the figure with a green star). This is equivalent to a \(8.3\sigma \)  detection on a Gaussian distribution. The detection threshold on the MES distribution derived from the null statistics in this case would have to be \(7.3\sigma \)  in order to achieve the same false alarm probability as a \(7.1\sigma \)  threshold on a Gaussian distribution.
